Well, that’s finally settled. We’ve got the matchup we’ve been looking for all season. We’ve got all of our biggest BCS questions answered. We’ve got, quite frankly, the very sort of clash of titans that makes our college football world go round.

Indeed: a Stanford-Wisconsin Rose Bowl.

But that Notre Dame-Alabama BCS title game might draw some interest, too.

Fact: Saturday was blissful. It was triumphant. It sorted some stuff out:

—Alabama, a 32-28 winner over Georgia in what, let’s be honest, was an insanely great SEC championship game, is headed to Miami to face (and, most assume, beat) the No. 1-ranked Irish.

—Kansas State, by virtue of its 42-24 victory over Texas, won the Big 12 and locked up a date with Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.

—Florida State, its 21-15 win over Georgia Tech in the ACC title game in the bag, is Orange Bowl-bound, almost certainly to face Louisville, which clinched the Big East championship on Thursday.

—There’s a pretty beautiful Sugar Bowl matchup expected: Florida vs. Oklahoma. The Sooners won 24-17 at TCU on Saturday, setting up the Sugar as perhaps the toughest-to-predict BCS game of all.

—And then there’s Wisconsin. The five-loss Badgers produced perhaps the most shocking result of the college football season: a 70-31 victory over Nebraska in the Big Ten title game. Losers of the past two Rose Bowls, Wisconsin will try to avoid becoming the Buffalo Bills vs. what’s perceived to be a much better Stanford team.

THIS AND THAT

—Did Collin Klein do enough in his final regular-season game to win the Heisman Trophy? The Kansas State senior certainly did enough to steal some votes. In the most important game of his career, the quarterback threw for 184 yards (one touchdown, one interception) and rushed for 103 yards and two scores.

Klein’s greatness has never been defined by stats. He’s the most influential player in program history and so valuable to his team, it’s just plain hard not to vote for him.

—Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel emerges from the weekend as the Heisman favorite. But what about Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o? He seems to have a chance still—but what matters more than that is the opportunity he’ll have to prove himself vs. Alabama in Miami.

Just look at what the Tide did in the running game against Georgia. They rushed for 347 yards, but this isn’t even about the numbers; it’s about Eddie Lacy (181 yards) and T.J. Yeldon (153) and truly an incredibly good offensive line. This is the challenge of Te’o’s career. He could emerge from that game looking like a future NFL superstar. Or as an overblown 2012 story.

—Apparently, Florida State didn’t care all that much how its season turned out. The Seminoles sleepwalked through a scoreless second half against a truly horrendous Georgia Tech defense. It sure makes one wonder where coach Jimbo Fisher’s head was at.

—By the way, Boise State is 10-2. The Broncos won 27-21 at Nevada on Saturday to clinch a share of the Mountain West title. No, Chris Petersen’s team isn’t BCS-bound. Yes, many a “bigger” program would like to hire Petersen. But, for now, let’s just take a bow at a seventh straight season in double-digit wins for Coach Pete and this one-of-a-kind program.
